"Volunteering is so important! I spend one day per week working as a volunteer nurse for the children's hospital, as a baby cuddler! I help to cuddle and feed the newborns in ICU. They need the contact of another person to thrive. This is often the best part of my week!"

"I believe that it's my responsibility to give back to the community by offering free nursing services to programs in need such as the local drop-in center and the women's center. I have volunteered twice per month for the last two years. It's gratifying to contribute to the health of others."
